Nothing pulls you back into the studio more than the belief that your best record is still ahead. ↗

The characters you refer to as predatory and unsavory are useful. They're the ones who make a novel into a thriller. They're active, and most of the common virtues, the signs of a good person, are not. ↗

I'd read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good. ↗

You can't do psychological thrillers. There's no audience. I've heard this. I've heard this from studios. ↗
